The Boardroom work of Ainomaija Haarla
I believe that the most important issues are:
- Integrity and independence.
- Time and genuine commitment from each member of the board to develop the company.
- The Board should work as a team which has a common purpose and which respects diversity and debate.
- The Board should use sufficient time for evaluating Corporate strategic futures, alternative scenarios and strategies in order to be some steps ahead.
- The Board should set targets for Corporate management, not only financial ones, and support its work.
- The Board should take care of owners' interests.
- The Board should add value to a Corporation.
